Amorphic Music presents US experimental math / groove / prog / jazz megaband The Most. Support comes from local prog loons Unstoppable Sweeties Show + solo sax soundscapist Chloe Mullet (aPAtT).
The Most‘s sound has been described as unique and lush; different and satiating. Seamlessly blended melodies and intelligent lyrics help The Most carve out a genre of their own. Having met in high school jazz band, these musicians have played together for most of their musical career. This fact is not lost on the discerning listener. One review by online magazine Fecking Bahamas describes their sound as “beautifully rich”, with “woodwind atop highly angular guitar phrases”. Thoughtful verses by lyricists and guitarists Connor Waage and Nick Hasko chronicle “everything from friendship to geometry” (Fecking Bahamas).
Woodwind arrangements provide a timbre not often used in the genre, and catchy wisps of melody are found throughout every voice of the band. Another review by the French music blog, Le Dictionnaire de l’Emo, describes their debut EP, “Important Things”, as the “perfect symbiosis between math-rock, and jazz” (Le Dictionnaire de l’Emo).
As for their most recent effort, 2020’s “Of What We Have”, Sputnik Music called the band’s arrangements “compelling” and insisted “the prospering teamwork between different members is prominently displayed” (Sputnik Music). Their dynamic form combines these elements to create their original sound.
